The match was filled with shenanigans, as Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, and Kevin Owens made their presence felt during the main event. KO, who was robbed of a potential title win in Canada a few weeks ago, stormed the ring in hopes of getting his revenge.

Unfortunately, The Prizefighter inadvertently took out The Best in the World with the Undisputed WWE Title after The Great Liberator ducked out of the way.

Sami Zayn used the distraction to hit Kevin Owens with a low blow and knocked CM Punk’s head off with a Helluva Kick to become a two-time Undisputed WWE Champion.

The Straight Edge Superstar’s 67-day reign came to an end, which took everyone by surprise, since the USA Network reportedly wanted him to be the champion on their brand.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the decision to put the title back on Sami Zayn was for storyline purposes. However, some people backstage were against the idea, but they did it anyway.

“With the Sami Zayn thing, the basic gist was they have a storyline that will make sense when you look back on it, is what I was told. When it’s all said and done this will all make sense. There was certainly people who were against it but they did it. And that was that.” (H/T – Cultaholic)

Did CM Punk go off-script on WWE SmackDown?

During a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley moments before his title defense, CM Punk dropped the “j*rking it” line while talking about Sami Zayn’s previous title reign.

Fightful Select learned that the Chicago native’s NSFW jab was not listed on the internal rundown, which probably means he went off-script.

In fact, Netflix has now beeped out the swear word. There’s no word yet on whether CM Punk has got backstage heat over this.

The Second City Saint would want his rematch as soon as Worlds Collide, which takes place in his hometown of Chicago.
